DCS FC3 Questions & Answers Thread

Thank you for your answer. What about dogfight? How can we utilize trimming during dogfight?

I'm not sure what to tell you about that. Like I said, trimming is used to balance your aircraft. And it's usually used to make fine adjustments. I would imagine a more balanced aircraft is more controllable in a dogfight and won't fight you as much but I don't want to make any sweeping statements here. Control movements are so extreme and exaggerated in a dogfight, I'm not sure how much trim will matter.

Maybe trimming the elevator up might give you a bit tighter turn but you always have to watch your angle of attack to prevent stalls and spins.

Going a bit off topic, I often like to use flaps in combat to give me a bit more lift and tighten my turn.

Just something you have to play around with.:smilewink: See what works for you.

Thank you, you are very helpful.

I tried to use Autopilot to follow waypoints in F-15C. It seem that the autopilot only controlled roll. I have to control pitch manually or else the aircraft will head to eath to its demise. Is this a correct behavior?

There are several autopilot modes in the F-15C but the default one, the one that engages when you press "A", is the route following. This means that the plane will follow the waypoints and barometric altitude (not radar altitude) specified in the mission planner. Unfortunately, if this barometric altitude takes you through a mountain, you're quite dead. :cry: Which is why it is a good idea to keep your hand on the stick. So, yes, autopilot also controls altitude / pitch.

That is the whole thing. Everything else is part of World.

Thx cich see you guys in the sky...ps is the airshow crowd easy to install??

Am I missing something in fc3 track ir doesn't work,strange it works on all other dcs sims?

TIR should work. Check your axis assignments.

The airshow crowd is not a mod (unless you are talking about something else), it is a static object that can be placed within the Mission Editor.
